About NifTools

Aim and Scope

NifTools is an open source project creating tools—such as an editor, C++ and Python libraries, and import/export plugins for Maya, 3ds Max, and Blender—for files used by the NetImmerse/GameBryo™ game engine. These tools enable users to create and edit 3D models and animations used in several popular PC games.
